Flamurtari Overview

Newcastle United have revived their interest in Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford as part of an aggressive overhaul of Eddie Howe's goalkeeping options. The Magpies had missed out on the England international last summer, but his limited game time at the Etihad Stadium has now reopened the door for a potential switch.

Premier League heavyweights such as Arsenal and Liverpool gave Barcelona a free run at Anthony Gordon when exit doors opened up at Newcastle, with Chris Waddle explaining to GOAL why the England international ended up in Catalunya rather than north London. An €80 million (£69m/$92m) transfer has taken Gordon away from his homeland and onto the books of La Liga champions.

Newcastle United have reportedly opened negotiations with Osasuna to sign Spain World Cup star Victor Munoz as they look to fill the void left by Anthony Gordon. The Magpies are moving aggressively in the early stages of the summer window to secure the 22-year-old before his stock rises further on the international stage.

Marcus Rashford would appear to be the perfect replacement for Anthony Gordon at Newcastle, as one England star heads to Barcelona and another potentially departs Catalunya, but Chris Waddle has told GOAL that the Manchester United-owned forward may be done with the Premier League. Questions are being asked of whether the 28-year-old has fallen out of love with top-flight competition in his homeland.
